Electric Blue

While rushing to the train last week, couldn't find a metered spot at Goldens Bridge so I had to drive down to Katonah where I came across this interesting station commuter, the bike lockup is right next to the station entrance. Of course, I like how the owner is taking up the whole lockup rather than parking the bike perpendicularly as it is intended to be used. That hub doesn't look like a QR but I could be mistaken.

The nagging question on my mind was why are there chains on the front wheel? Then, looking at it close up, I see that it has canti's and then I realize that front hub is not a drum brake, rather an electric motor! Now that is cool.
